Manufactured by the Nagoya Arsenal, the Type 2 was a specialized takedown variant of the Type 99 Arisaka for issue to paratroopers. As Japanese parachute technology made jumping with a full-sized rifle impractical, the Type 2 would be carried disassembled and then snapped together on landing. Fitted with an inverted "V" front sight and folding ladder rear sight with A-A wings, standard receiver markings, ground mum, and a smooth stock with steel buttcap.

Very good as assembled, with about half of the blue finish, showing areas of brown patina, mild spotting and scattered handling marks. Numbers are mixed overall. Stock is also very good with dents and dark spots. Mechanically fine.
